Welcome to Julius Sturgis Pretzel Bakery

The Kiwanis Club is combining two of our favorites – pretzels and shopping. During this ticketed event, guests stroll through town while sampling our local chef’s take on pretzels.

The Rotary Club of Lititz Craft Show was launched in 1979 with only local vendors setting up on a single block along E. Main Street in Lititz. Now it has grown into one of the top craft shows on the east coast, drawing 400+ crafters from throughout the United States and Canada. The craft show, always held the second Saturday in August, draws upwards to 50,000 people and is held along the first four blocks of E. Main Street, along three blocks of Broad Street and in Lititz Springs Park.

Tickets Required. Each year on the Saturday before Columbus Day, chocoholics converge on Lititz, Pennsylvania for a day of chocolate bliss! With more than 25 locations, participants tour the shops in downtown Lititz in search of mouth-watering chocolate treats. With samples donated from some of the region’s top chefs, bakers, ice cream shops and candy makers, Lititz Chocolate Walkers literally eat their way across town! All the money raised from ticket sales goes to support children-focused charities in the Lancaster County region.

Shopping small has a BIG impact on our communities. On Small Business Saturday, we invite you to visit downtown Lititz and celebrate the small businesses that make our downtown thrive. Lititz is home to over 70 locally owned retailers and restaurants that sponsor local sports teams, volunteer their time with local civic organizations and charities, and work hard to beautify our town. Today, and everyday, let’s show them some love!

Think of it as a block party that celebrates all that makes Lititz great! A Taste of Lititz is a delicious night out that oozes small town charm. Set on East Main Street and surrounded by historic architecture, the event invites you to try small tastes of our local restaurants’ very best bites. They’ll set up right on the street and you’ll be able to stroll along, drink in hand, sampling their goods. Of course, your strolling might turn to dancing thanks to a lineup of live music scheduled throughout the night. Other fun plans? Games geared toward families. This is a special chance to take in all of Main Street’s magic without worrying about traffic. We’ll have Main Street closed to car traffic and open to all of you from Water Street through Broad Street. Thanks to the amazing generosity of our Platinum Sponsors, a Taste of Lititz is a FREE community event. No tickets are required. Just pay for your tastes! Julius Sturgis Pretzel Bakery will have fresh-baked soft pretzels and cold water for sale!

The Lititz Patriotic Parade kicks off our Fourth of July Celebration! This annual tradition celebrates our community and our country with a lineup of patriotic bands, floats, veteran groups, dancers, scouts, sports cars and more! This year the Lititz Lions are unveiling a new route that makes the parade safer and parking easier. After the parade, be sure to head to Lititz Springs Park for a performance by Flamin Dick and the Hot Rods!
